Public Enemy #1 (Gabentine Fic)

You've Been Struck By

"Officers please be advised we have a 211 in progress on South Elm Street...."

I groan at the sound of that stupid scanner and take another sip of coffee as my partner literally squeals in his seat. I throw him a glare that instantly shuts him up and he looks like a kicked puppy and looks at me pleadingly.

"Aw come on, Clem! Just for old time sake and it'll be quick and easy! You haven't taken one call like this since you were promoted to detective. I know you miss tackling bad guys that try to run away from you and I miss hearing their cries for help. PLEASE!"

"ALRIGHT! FINE! We will go check out this stupid robbery but you're buying me breakfast afterwards because it is too damn early for this shit. I only rode along with you today because chief said you've been fighting with the rookie you were assigned with."

Luke throws up his hands in excitement and hurriedly called in that me and him were going to check it out. I started the car up and flipped on our lights before pulling out from where we were trying to get speeders. Luke huffs and fold his arms like a child over uniform clad chest and scowled lightly.

"Well, you spend more than five minutes with Jane and you'll be wanting to taser her and her bad attitude too. She's a total bitch that only cares about herself and I fucking hate her."

I turned right on a street and threw a smirk at Luke that had him flushing in anger and shouting at me.

"No, fuck you. I. Do. Not. Like. Her. Nope. Eat a dick, Marsh."

I was nearly in tears from laughing at Luke and took a couple breaths to calm down. The smile never left my face and Luke shouted in aggravation before lightly hitting my shoulder.

"Hey, we're here. Let's go check it out."

I shut off the car, call in that we are going inside the house to investigate, and step out of the car. The hot Georgia sun is already heating up and I'm so glad I do not have to wear them hot uniforms anymore. I draw my weapon and we make our way to the house and to the front door. I knock on the door and shout out.

"Police! Open up!"

There's nothing but silence and I motion for Luke to open the door and he does slowly. The house is dark and the only light is coming from us opening the door. A rancid smell hits my nose as soon as the door slings opens and I gag slightly at the smell. Luke swears and he dry heaves before vomiting outside. I know this smell all too well and reach for my radio that was on my waistband.

"This is officer Marsh. We have a possible 187 at South Elm. Requesting backup."

"Copy that, Officer Marsh. Bus en route to you."

Luke finally comes back inside and is about to speak but there's a sound that comes from down the hall. I throw a look at Luke and we both bring our weapons up before walking slowly to the back. I shine my flashlight on the ground and see a large blood trail leading down the hall. We make it to the back and the trail leads into a bedroom where we find where that awful smell is coming from. A man and woman are laying hand in hand on a large bed with their intestines spilled in between them. I clench my jaw at the sight and keep my gun up and hear Luke go into another room and I look into the other rooms of the dark house, trying to find out what made that sound.

"Clear."

"We're all clear in here, Clem."

I'm walking back from looking in the kitchen for any clues but come up short. Luke rounds the corner and I see that he has already placed his gun back into his holder. I sigh in anger at his rookie mistake and go to scold him for it but movement behind him has me shouting.

"LUKE! GET DOWN!"

Gunshots ring out and I feel blood splatter in my face and Luke drops to his knees. He looks down at his chest that now has three holes in it and then looks at me.

"Clem..."

Thump

Luke fall motionless on the floor and I see the shooter is a woman and looks terrified at me. I snarl and unload my gun on her and each bullet hits her and she finally falls dead to the ground. My finger is still pulling the trigger even after I emptied the round but I just keep pulling the trigger. I didn't even hear footsteps that approached me but I did see the person.

"Kate? What's wit-"

The man stops talking upon seeing me, Luke, and apparently Kate. A look passes across his face before he sets his glare on me and I reach for my other round of ammo. The man reveals his weapon to me and I don't have time to go for cover when a shot rings out and extreme pain shoots through my leg and I fall to the ground. Luke's blood had started to pool and I fall right into it. I grabbed my leg that had been shot and look up to see the man with his gun inches away from my face. I expect for him to end my life right then and there but he leans down beside me and I feel his breath hit the side of my face.

"You've made the biggest mistake of your life, do you wanna know why? It's because you just killed David Garcia's wife and I'm his son."

After he said that, he pulled the revolver back and held it by the barrel before hitting me with the butt of it. The last thing I seen was him waving at me and then blackness.
